Chapter 583 What kind of marriage is this?
Sunset West Mountain.
Gu Jingxi came back from outside. Just as he reached the door and before he entered the house, he heard his son calling in a baby voice, "Sister, I like sister." He paused and his mood instantly became complicated.
She had taken contraceptive pills, so how could A Yao still get pregnant?
Doctor Wen’s quack medicine doesn’t work. What happened to the 100% contraceptive effect?
The next moment, the sound of a baby babbling was heard again. Gu Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief. His son could speak now and would not babble like that. It meant that there was a child in the house, not that A Yao was pregnant.
After Gu Jingxi entered the room, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw A Yao sitting on the couch by the window. There were two children on the couch, one was Wan Wan, and the other was a little baby who looked only a few months old, wearing a pink bellyband and pink pants.
He stepped forward and asked, "Ayao, whose child is this?"
Meng Jinyao's attention was focused on the two children. She didn't notice him coming in. She turned around when she heard his voice and said with a smile, "My husband is back. This is Ayan's daughter. Her nickname is Nuonuo." As she spoke, she picked up the chubby little girl and said, "Look, isn't she cute?"
Gu Jingxi lowered his head and took a closer look. The little girl had big, round eyes, as delicate as jade. He nodded gently, "Yeah, she's quite cute."
When Wanwan saw her father, she subconsciously reached out for a hug and called him in a baby voice, "Dad."
Gu Jingxi responded, bent down and picked up his son, and asked, "Aren't you going to the Wen family for a banquet today? When did the princess come? Why didn't I see her?"
Meng Jinyao shook her head: "Ayan didn't come. I brought the child back from Duke Shen's mansion."
Gu Jingxi was stunned: "Ayao, why did you bring someone else's daughter back?"
Meng Jinyao replied, "Isn't it because you don't have a daughter and you're jealous of other people's? Ah Yan was generous and let me bring Nuonuo back to raise her for a few days. It would be good for Wanwan to have a companion. He has no playmates at home. Xiuyuan's Yunxin is one year older than Wanwan, but they are of similar age. It's just that Wanwan is Yunxin's fourth uncle. Xiuyuan and his wife are very reserved because of their seniority. They are afraid that Yunxin will offend Wanwan, the elder, so they keep a close eye on him and the two children can't play together."
After hearing this, Gu Jingxi naturally had no objection. His son was always around adults, and he was lonely without children to play with. Although this little girl couldn't speak yet, she was a playmate after all. ?

On the other side, Princess Jingning and her husband Shen Yunzhou spent a few days enjoying themselves at the farm before reluctantly returning home.
These few days are the most comfortable and relaxed days they have lived since Nuonuo was born. They don't have to take care of the child to the point of exhaustion every day, nor do they have to stay up late to take care of the child. They go to bed early and get up early every day. Their complexions have improved a lot, and they feel refreshed.
After entering the city, the couple did not go home directly, but went to Changxing Marquis Mansion to pick up their daughter.
Seeing his wife's guilty look, Shen Yunzhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who was the one who left home in a hurry that day, fearing that our daughter would be sent back? Why are you feeling guilty now?"
Princess Jingning smiled awkwardly, "Aren't you feeling guilty? We've been hands-off for a few days, eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well. We're full of energy now. A-Yao and his wife helped us take care of the children, so they didn't sleep well at night. I guess they feel depressed."
Arriving at the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, Princess Jingning quietly asked the maid in the mansion: "How are your Marquis and his wife doing recently? Are they in a trance?"
The maid was a little confused when she heard this, but she still said truthfully: "To answer the princess, our marquis and his wife are both doing well."
"fine?"
Princess Jingning was stunned, feeling that the maid was not telling the truth. She knew how difficult it was to take care of Nuonuo.
The maid brought the couple to the banquet hall, served them tea respectfully, and then said, "Please wait for a moment, Princess and Master Shen. The Marquis and his wife will be here soon."
About a cup of tea later, Meng Jinyao and his wife arrived.
Princess Jingning and Shen Yunzhou looked at the couple who appeared at the door at the same time. They saw that the couple had smiles on their faces and did not look tired at all. Meng Jinyao was holding their daughter Nuonuo, and Gu Jingxi was holding Wanwan, and they walked slowly into the living room.
Seeing this, Princess Jingning and Shen Yunzhou were stunned.
Is this right?
Gu Jingxi is busy with official duties and probably won't help take care of Nuonuo at night, but Meng Jinyao likes Nuonuo so much that she will definitely take care of her, after all, the wet nurse can't coax Nuonuo well.
You know, when the couple was taking care of Nuonuo, they were not in such a good spirit.
Meng Jinyao saw the couple looking at her eagerly, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought they missed Nuonuo, so she smiled and said, "Ayan, didn't you say I would send the child back to you when I got tired of him? It's only been a few days, and you and your wife can't bear to let him go and come to pick him up in person."
Princess Jingning said guiltily, "Nuonuo is a difficult child to take care of. She makes a lot of noise at night. How can we disturb you for too long? So we will take her back today, otherwise you will be exhausted."
Meng Jinyao replied: "Nuonuo is very well behaved. She doesn't cry or make a fuss on weekdays and sleeps well at night. It doesn't take much energy to take care of her. Do you and your wife have any misunderstandings about the child?"
Shen Yunzhou: “…”
Princess Jingning: "..."
Did they hear wrongly?
This crybaby in their family is sometimes disliked by their parents, but in the eyes of others he is a well-behaved child?
Princess Jingning forced a smile and said, "Ayao, are you talking about our Nuonuo?"
Meng Jinyao said: "Of course it's Nuonuo. If you don't believe me, ask Nuonuo's wet nurse?"
Princess Jingning didn't quite believe it, but she didn't dwell on it any further. She exchanged greetings with the couple, then took the child and the child's wet nurse home.
After returning home, Princess Jingning asked the wet nurse about the child's condition in the past few days. She learned from the wet nurse that the child had been very well behaved and hardly cried or made a fuss.
The couple was puzzled, wondering if it was because they didn’t know how to take care of the child that the child was crying?
Then, they heard the wet nurse say, "Perhaps it's because the young master is by her side. The girl sleeps with him at night and plays with him during the day. When she's tired, she goes to sleep. That's why the girl isn't so noisy."
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other and then showed an expression of "I see."
But the next moment, Shen Yunzhou's face darkened: "Our Nuonuo is a girl, how can she sleep on the same bed with a man from another family?"
Princess Jingning glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Nuonuo is only a few months old, and Wanwan is still young too. Why do they need to avoid these things?"
Shen Yunzhou asked back: "Are you no longer a girl at just a few months old?"
Princess Jingning curled her lips and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then why not arrange a marriage for them? They've slept together anyway, so it doesn't make sense to not arrange a marriage and let Wanwan take the responsibility, don't you think?"
Shen Yunzhou was not happy about this. He said with a dark face, "What kind of engagement? The kid from the Gu family is still nursing and our Nuonuo is still an innocent little girl. She just slept with him a few times and didn't do anything else. How can we get engaged just because of this?"
